Trigger pull reduction

[Anonymous]

Will Ruger modify the trigger pull lb on my SR9c if I contact them and send my gun in or will i need to take it to a local gunsmith? Mine trigger is right around 7.5lbs currently (as it came from factory) and I would like it to be in the 3-4lb range.

Thanks,
c.b.

Kinda doubt that. As far as I know they don't offer custom gunsmithing. I'm sure it is set where it is for liability reasons. I can say, it will get smoother, if not lighter, the more you shoot it. It's already better than most other comparable pistols I've shot.

I had my CCW instructor who is also an NRA pistol instructor tell me that the trigger pull was the stiffest he had ever shot. I have put around 500 rounds thru the gun before he shot it yesterday. Like I said it is currently 7.5lbs, he estimated it to be 8lbs while we were at the range. He had a Springfield Armory XD .40s&w with a trigger pull around 3-4lbs and when he had me do some dry firing drills the XD with the lower trigger lbs was much easier to pull and I was able to complete the drills much better than with my SR9c at 7.5lbs. He recommended I check ruger forums to see if anyone had been able to have Ruger do the work and if they would not then he would give me the name of a gunsmith that he trusts to work on his guns including reducing the trigger pull on his XD. The trigger pull on my SR9c is smooth it's just too heavy. Thanks for the reply.

I wouldn't go below 5, if you are going to carry this weapon. Some would argue that below 5 is not a problem, but I would think long an hard about it for a carry weapon.

Stock trigger should be closer to 5 than 7.5. Not sure why yours would be this high. I know individual weapons can vary, but this sounds like more than normal variance.

You could call Ruger CS and see if it falls within their specs.

Agree with clovishound, unless this pistol is for competition, 5 is low enough. Get below that and if you use it in SD, it may give that ambitious prosecutor more 'ammo' to make you the criminal.

Appreciate all ur recommendations on setting it at 5lb, but I shot my instructors springfield xd .40s&w with a 3-4lb trigger pull and was very comfortable. Besides the grip safety there is no external safety and it his EDC. I leave my SR9c external safety off as my gun will not fire until I put my finger on the trigger and my finger doesn't go from the frame to the trigger until it is on target and ready to go. I don't see how having a trigger pull lower than 5 for SD is going to give the prosecutor any "ammo" against me. I''m not saying I have to have 3-4, but I need something less than 7.5lbs. 5lbs may be the perfect number for it. i'm not excluding it i am calling ruger to see if 7.5 is within specs for that gun and if not what is and i will send it to them to be lighter.

both my sr9c and sr40c have trigers right in the 7.5lb range. i am hoping to bring mine down to 3.5 lbs or so as well!

No thanks. Thanks for wasting my time readying your dumb ass post.

c.b., I'm an instructor (NRA and DOD expert) and I never tell someone that is new to handgun shooting that their trigger is too hard and I never let one of my students shoot one of my modified guns until they show some interest in target shooting.

Good for you mr dod expert. I wasn't taking a class from him. I was giving his background. I toke my concealed carry class from him a few months ago. and I just confirmed what he suspected, according to ruger the gun is out of spec on the trigger pull.

we were at a range where he has membership and i do not as my shooting lane is under construction. We were there to dial in my new ruger handgun, i'm not new to handgun shooting i'm new to this gun. If he wasn't comfortable with me shooting his handgun then i wouldn't have. he had me fire it once so that he could see if i was more steady during the pull and follow thru without the strong trigger pull. You are not helping me in any manner so please go away. thanks.

If you search, you will find that I teach for free. I don't charge as it is not my regular job, I feel a need to pay something forward and my preference is for new shooters, mostly women and very advanced target shooters. It is to keep morons like you as far away from me as possible. I have taught some of the best there are when I served in the military, it was great honor to be qualified to Expert Instructor in the Army and to extend that to training the other services. My guess is I could out shoot you and your idiot instructor with your crappy 7.5# trigger gun any day of the week.

I'm sure you could out shoot me, a moron, and my instructor, an idiot, mr. dod expert. i don't care what you charge, you probably don't charge for giving out MODERATOR EDIT either. i try to keep assholes like you mr. dod expert as far away from me so we're all good there. so i'm a moron, the instructor is an idiot, and an inanimate object is a piece of crap. i'm sorry i shoot a ruger and can't afford to spend more on a non-crappy gun. as i said you offer nothing to this conversation so please go away.

Moderators, can you just delete this whole post. mr dod expert finds me a moron and my gun crappy.

The SR9c is a great gun. If you find that gun's trigger pull to be harder than it should be, than contact Ruger. Don't compare it to some modified XD, 3 to 4# pull is a modified triggered XD, and call that Ruger out for that. I don't really like you very much so a freebie BJ is out of the question :lol: :lol: :lol: .

...and Homie don't play that.

if you would read, i have already contacted ruger and it is out of spec. you're the one that called my gun crappy. i love my ruger, i just want it's trigger pull within spec.

again you are not adding anything to the conversation, i am now repeating myself because mr. dod expert can't read where i type that ruger confirmed it to be out of spec. please go away. i guess i would be pissed all the time to if i lived in chicago and couldn't fully exercise my 2nd amendment rights, but that still doesn't give you the right to call me a moron, the instructor an idiot, and my gun crappy. so go bumping uglies yourself mr. dod expert.

I know quite a bit about measuring trigger pull and I also know quite a bit about Ruger's Customer Service. They may tell you that 7.5# seems high but they would never take your word on that. You really are going to be tossed but I hope not, I find you stupidly funny.

do ya know how i know that it is 7.5? i find you stupidly funny as well, go figure mr. dod expert.

You probably use your left big toe on the trigger and your right big toe in your ear and calculate the differential. I just use a trigger pull gage. They sell them at Midway USA.

...but they must be used the proper way, jerking the thing is a big no-no :lol:

don't try sucking up to me, i will not give you a ======== no matter how much you pay me mr. dod expert. i had a gun shop use their gauge (that is how it is spelled mr. dod expert. I only tell you so you don't embarrass yourself at the pentagon giving your free lessons and ========) and i didn't tell them i thought it was too high i just asked them to test it for me.

Hey partner, when I said a low trigger pull might provide ammo for a prosecutor, I didn't mean to say it WOULD, or that it SHOULD. Mas Ayoob has written a LOT about how we have ambitious prosecutors all over the country, and I'm pretty sure he has actually cited a case he testified in, related to modification of a gun to make it more lethal. I'm sure not saying don't do this, just wanted you to be aware of some of the implications. Ayoob's writings are linked on the internet, and with a quick search you could find some of his stuff that explains it much better than I.

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate the tips, will google that.

Ok a REAL post here! I tried the Ghost Rocket Reset in mine and it seems to reduce my trigger pull down some. Shoots a lot better now. Maybe you can look into that.

if mr dod expert had not started calling me a moron, the instructor an idiot and my gun a piece of crap then he would not have had any oral sex references. Where is his admonishment? He treated me with disrespect, so that is what he got back. All the other posters that had other viewpoints and expressed them in a respectful manner were treated with respect. I asked him several times to the quit posting on my topic yet he continued. WHERE IS HIS ADMONISHMENT?!?

and my name is c.b. not cb. thank you.

He also pretty much described me committing suicide as my way of determining the trigger pull. He offered not a single bit of help. You can boot me from the forums for referencing oral sex if you feel it is warranted, but having arrogant people like mr dod expert on forums will make it so that no one wants to post for fear that his highness will ream them up the butt for whatever their question is.

Quite a bit of drama there, Queenie.

I figured with your extreme oral fixation that you probably had some bizarre Yoga/Kama Sutra joy finding pose for trigger pull checking.

I don't make suicide jokes.
